    Good luck, LT. Been a good year to fade the sexy Serb, but I just don't think it's a good idea today. Then again, maybe you're the kind of guy that's just late to the party.

    Had this one in my back pocket to use depending on how much I made on Pennetta this morning. I've been saying it for months - until Ana wins two in a row (hasn't since Wimbledon), I will fade her against worth opponents.

    Kvitova took a set off her in Montreal in July, but she'll obviously need to be better than that today. Avoiding double faults and having a better second serve - that would be the way to win.

    Ana's been getting a lot of protein lately, if you know what I mean.

    Bartoli destroyed herself. Look at her serving numbers from yesterday. Any player with a pulse should have pounded her.

    And Ana was up 4-1 in the 2nd and decided to let Bartoli make it interesting, that's not the sign of someone who is "in form" just yet. Today tells the tale.

    If you go to the WTA website and get the live scores window for Zurich, you can go in there and look at the matches for that tourney from the beginning.

    Yeah. If you click on the score of the game, it takes you to the match stats. They do it in real time too, so you can check them during the match as well. Cool feature.

    i have a feeling they're showing the nadal match but not the karlovic match unless it goes to a 3 setter and nadal finishes early.

    That's impossible because the Karlovic-Simon match starts after the one with Nadal has ended.

    You guys were right, Kvitova was overmatched.

    Oh well.

    You guys get too excited over routine breaks in WTA, they're not men, they happen all the time. Ivanovic was never in danger and coasted to an easy 61 64 victory. Just another day at the office for the sexy Serb.

    I know, it's just that it seems that she always wins the first set and than has problems closing out.
